TDP Criticizes YSRCP on Education Policies
The TDP's Chejerla Venkateswara Reddy criticized the YSRCP for not keeping its promises on education.
He said the YSRCP did not fully implement Ammavadi, which was promised before the 2019 elections.
Instead, the YSRCP limited benefits to one child per family.
The TDP praised the current government's Talliki Vandanam Scheme (TVS), which gives Rs 15,000 to eligible school-going children without restrictions.
The TVS has helped many students, including those from different communities and Anganwadi workers.
The TDP also highlighted that nearly 16,000 teacher posts were filled under the current government.
